Please join us for the next meeting of our Ayurvedic study group. Attendance at prior meetings is not required. All are welcome. 

For this class, we’ll review some key concepts from Chapter 1 of the Charaka Samhita as we delve into the all important sutras on the use of herbs and medicinals to restore and maintain good health. 

This session will conclude our study of the first four chapters of Charaka on Longevity. Next year we’ll begin a new section called “On the Preservation of Health.”

Please bring your ‘beginner’s mind’ and join us as we listen deeply and reflect on the words of the sages.

“May we live happily and healthily for 100 autumns, 

and see each other with love and respect for 100 years.” 

-Atharva Veda
